Where do voluntary withholdings appear on my w2

My husband has an additional amount withheld every paycheck and it still appears as if hardly any taxes are withheld on the W2. Is the amount reported elsewhere?

No, the total amount of withholding is in Box 2 of the W-2.  That would include any additional amount that he indicated on his Form W-4 that he wanted withheld.  If enough taxes weren't withheld, he may want to consider filing a new Form W-4. 

The IRS has a withholding calculator: IRS Withholding Calculator

And TurboTax can help you determine your withholding and prepare a new W-4 to give to your employer.  See the following FAQ:
